2. Mark the holes. The necessary dimensions can be found in the table "Dimensions for the drill
holes":
– Two drill holes at the beginning and end of the mounting rail
– Additional drill holes at equal intervals of 500 mm maximum, along the identification
groove
3. Drill the marked holes according to the selected type of fastening.
4. Ensure that there are no burrs or shavings on the mounting rail.
To ensure secure installation of the modules, make sure that the drill holes are centered in
